Good morning. This is the Thursday online meeting of the Step 2 Men’s Group of Alcoholics Anonymous. My name is Sean and I am an alcoholic and your meeting secretary. Let us take a moment of silence, to do with as you wish, followed by the Serenity Prayer:
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.”
Please mute your microphones. You can mute/unmute your telephone using *6
The following is a definition of AA:
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
